Nadler declares 'constitutional crisis' after contempt vote, accuses Trump *tr)

Nadler declares 'constitutional crisis' after contempt vote, accuses Trump of attacking 'essence of our democracy'(full title)

House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., declared a "constitutional crisis" on Wednesday, but pushed back on impeachment as an option after his committee voted to hold the attorney general in contempt for defying a subpoena for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s unredacted Russia report and underlying documents.

"We've talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it," Nadler told the press on Wednesday. Although he pushed back on impeachment as an option, he indicated that the United States was at a critical time of testing whether it could stay a republic or transition into a tyrannical form government.

Nadler's committee voted along partisan lines to hold Barr in contempt on Wednesday and angered the White House by not delaying the vote. At the same time, the president invoked executive privilege — refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas.

Nadler accused the White House of "stonewalling" the American people and attacking "the essence of our democracy."

"They are uniformly rejecting subpoenas from Congress. This means that they have decided to oppose the role of Congress as a coordinate branch of government representing the American people."

Nadler reminds of Newman in Seinfeld - except Newman is better looking.

I'm guessing that this is what it would look like as Nadler interrogates Trump due to this “constitutional crisis”:

No that is not the answer. It is time to water the tree with these people.

Up is down and black is white coming from the Democratic party. Problem is this asinine bs will spread to others if not stopped.

Think indoctrination continues for our young people and our country is being invaded by lil blue voters.

We better crack some skulls while we can.

‘Constitutional Crisis? Not.

This is the Donk theater of the absurd.

They lost the 2016 election.

They lost on Mueller.

And now they are loosing on “Constitutional Crisis.”

Llllllllleeeeeeewwwwwwzers!

And to top it all off, AG Barr is readying sedition indictments on those who attempted a coup on a duly elected president of the United States.

The Donks are going NUTS.Pelosi is all over the place, she is also losing it big time.

“the United States was at a critical time of testing whether it could stay a republic or transition into a tyrannical form government”

Nadler is absolutely correct on this. If Democrats win we become a Marxist run society.

I keep getting the mental picture of what Leia did to Jabba the Hutt. However, I don’t think that that would be constitutionally allowed.

>> I really just want cwii declared so we can get the unpleasant inevitable over with sooner rather than later.

I understand the sentiment, but I believe that is exactly what the Trump team is trying to prevent. IMO they have a plan to take down the traitors with minimal disruption to the decent people in this country. However, the Trump team does seem to be ensuring that the decent people in this country are armed and ready just in case.

I believe the fact that so many conservative, patriotic Americans are well-armed is itself a deterrent and will make armed combat highly unlikely. I think the mass shooting events that we have seen more of are an attempt by the left to cause chaos and panic - a form of terrorism or guerrilla combat employed because they know they are far outnumbered and far outgunned. That is one of the few moves they have left.

This despicable little turd can lie about anything and the propaganda arm (media) will hype it up until the country thinks it is fact.

I thought the Nadler, Pelosi etc, have all the evidence that they needed to impeach?

Why wait for more evidence?

Didn’t Holder also do something similar...and nothing happened.

Was Holder held in contempt?

I have to agree. My comment of agreement was purely out of frustration.

“IMO they have a plan to take down the traitors with minimal disruption to the decent people in this country”.

From what I have gathered from various reliable sources, that is exactly right. (X-22 for one).

I do know that if the traitors are not taken down and if justice is not served, there will be a next time and next time will make this time look like child’s play.

Next time they will go full Hitler/Stalin on our asses.
